Lufthansa Systems, a leading provider of aviation technology solutions, has recently announced its partnership with Airlink (Pty) Limited, a prominent South African airline. This collaboration marks Lufthansa Systems’ entry into the Southern African market. Airlink (Pty) Limited has chosen Lufthansa Systems’ flight operations products, including Lido Flight 4D, Lido mPilot, and Lido Airport Obstacle Data Service (AODS), opting for their comprehensive one-stop-shop service.
By implementing Lido Flight 4D, an advanced and interactive flight planning solution, Airlink (Pty) Limited aims to optimize its routes by considering crucial flight-related data such as fuel consumption, costs, and flying time. Lido Flight 4D enables individualized optimization of different flight phases and offers a range of automation options. The solution is equipped with cutting-edge features, including real-time data updates, integration of weather data, and fuel price updates, providing accurate and up-to-date flight plans.
Captain Tammy King, Executive Manager of Operations, Airlink (Pty) Limited, said, “We are delighted to partner with Lufthansa Systems. The additional features prioritize safety during take-offs and landings while focusing on optimizing the economic efficiency of every aspect of our flight routings. Lufthansa Systems’ Lido Solutions will provide us with state-of-the-art technology to further enhance Airlink’s operational processes and procedures.”
Airlink (Pty) Limited will leverage Lufthansa Systems’ pilot solution, Lido mPilot, to enhance safety and operational efficiency for its pilots. Lido mPilot is an all-in-one charting application that grants easy access to terminal charts, dynamically generated enroute maps, Airport Moving Maps, and all necessary operational documents. The electronically generated charts rely on a comprehensive worldwide geographic information database and aeronautical source data, ensuring precision and high quality.
“We are pleased to welcome Airlink (Pty) Limited as a valued customer of our Lido Solutions. Through this partnership we not only gain a reliable partner, but also enter the South African market – a market with a lot of potential, that will open up great new opportunities for us,” added Marco Cesa, SVP Regional Management EMEA, Lufthansa Systems.
Additionally, Airlink (Pty) Limited will benefit from Lufthansa Systems’ data solution, Lido AODS, which allows pilots to optimize take-offs and landings using electronic flight bags (EFBs). Lido AODS equips pilots with current information about runways and airports, enabling them to assess the suitability of planned runways for specific aircraft types and current load conditions. This becomes particularly crucial in situations such as engine failure, where pilots must make critical decisions regarding safe landings. By utilizing data from certified global resources, Lido AODS ensures the accuracy and reliability of its information.
